What Do You Do When You Show Up For a Meeting… that never happens?
I am sitting at a typical coffee shop waiting for a 2pm meeting that is not going to happen.
No phone call, no text message, no email to let me know the meeting is off or that my appointment cannot make it. Has this ever happened to you?
What do you do to pass the time?
I blog about it. Hey, the coffee is good and I get to catch up on a few more to-do items.

SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search,[1] news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.
